That Nevada and Mississippi can take more beating than any of the Bayerns. The only good German ship is actually Scharnhorst.

Ok I go by my words

There is also the fact that blowing the tail off would do far far more than just blowing the tail off. Hopefully that part will be fixed in March? Or was it June? Anyway, hopefully that will be fixed in the upcoming damage model overhaul. Meaning a direct hit will do more than just knock the tail off

UK top tier has reasonably decent offensive, but not really the armour to survive the fire from most other 7.0s

Also the Hood and Renown, whilst packing those 15 inch guns do suffer from a lack of HE (or properly functioning AP) and from wide shell dispersal. Nailing the weakspots needed to fight some of these BBs can just be a roll of the dice sometimes.

Not bad

At this rate I’m gonna get my life together before gajjin drops a devblog for the next major update

Don’t I know it:

I spawned into this in my Orion, in the picture there are 2 Scharnhorsts, a Bayern (there was another that wouldn’t fit in the picture) and what I think is an SMS Kaiser (Which is about on-par with Orion but Orion is a higher BR).

I’m sure you can guess who won.

There are some interesting things to consider on the various WT-affiliated Artstation portfolios, even staying on Art Vostok you’ll find


the currently unavailable droptank on the J2M3 ( https://www.artstation.com/artwork/WqYnX?album_id=1501523 )


the as-yet unused wing folding animation on the F3D-1 ( https://www.artstation.com/artwork/KaZJyR?album_id=1501523 )


and this alternate position of the foils of USS Tucumcari, which unlike the above is not currently available in the CDK assetviewer ( https://www.artstation.com/artwork/W2z2ly?album_id=1501523 )

i genuinely despise the orion for the simple reason of it being another ww1 ship with no aa guns for the brits, because they needed more of those

Precisely.

I am a naval enthusiast, I REALLY am. I adore capital ship combat, Battleships, etc…

But, for a while, Naval Top Tier has been unplayable because, for whatever reason, Gaijin has been handholding and powercreeping Germany while leaving other nations unattended to different degrees.

In that regard this is what that other naval game does somewhat right…not sure if that would be possible in WT though being able to balance how many ship types in a battle not much we can do there other then BRs being adjusted…maybe

I think the issue is that in that game, you have 1 ship. In this game , you can have a full line up. But people don’t have to spawn in the biggest ship they have or spawn in it at all.

Not too mention the compression where you technically have radically different classes of ships essentially at the same BR

Particularly as a Brit main I can cope with us having a less than meta air and ground, but naval just bruh.

The ship seems to be moving sideways to the right ^^
